Well... where am I now? I started the Bookkeeper/Administration job on Jan 16. Started my new (one-day-a-week) hobby-job as a C++ Tutor (instead of a CyberSecurity Student) on Mar 2.

Have not made a lot of progress in my learning-C++ this semester. Have been completely absorbed in my new bookkeeper/admin job. It turns out that accounting is an interesting thing to study!

And yet: I am still here, even if still only one inch at a time. Last week I finally got a compiler/IDE to run a Hello World on my laptop, so I am freed from the limits of the online compiler I was using. (Only one file, no saving, etc.) This week I am attempting to learn the Microsoft Visual Studio Code development environment. It's, um, a lot more complicated than just using a text editor.
